Confident of Victory
Well it’s been another couple of days since the last post. I finally managed to eat all of my spouting potatoes, and also ate the 5 sasusages in the fridge yesterday. Today I had pasta with my Basics Pasta Sauce, with cheese. Plenty for two portions so the second one is lunch tomorrow.
Haven’t bought a thing recently, apart from more milk, which was £1.44 for 4 pints. Fun fact: All of the major supermarkets near me (Morrisons, Tesco, Sainsburys) all charge this exact amount for 4 pints of skimmed milk. Price fixing or what? The only exception I’ve spotted is Iceland, who charge £1.20.
Total spend now £58.39 with 2 weeks to go. I think I can do this fairly comfortably, as I have plenty of ingredients left and won’t need to spend too much more to make several more meals.

NOW where’s your victory?!
If you knew of the cheaper Iceland milk, why didn’t you go there to save 24p?

I only saw it after I’d bought my milk

YOu can do it…even I could live on that for 2 weeks! Seriously look at Weezl’s thread…she’s got 50p a day for two of them! Re the milk you need to cost whether its worth petrol (if you have a car) to go a longer distance to get cheaper milk IYKWIM! With petrol prices as they are could be expensive for the sake of 20p!
